Sumario:The growing pressure on the Mexican State to incorporate a gender perspective in its conformation led to the constitutional reform of gender parity. The federal powers have opted for different normative designs to face the challenge. However, when contrasting the normative level with the factual one, it is possible to find a considerable distance. This article seeks to explore the distance between regulations and the exercise of gender parity rights in the federal government, based on the analysis of three problems: the gap of salaries between men and women, the problem of glass ceilings, and the difficulties for women to effectively exercise power in the legislative branch.
